TO D A Y A N D T O M O R R O WBy GERALD M ASSEY.

’Tis weary watching wave by wave, And yet the tide heaves onward:

We climb, like corals, g rave by g rave That pave a pathway sunward.

We're driven back in m any a fray , Yet never s trength we borrow.

And where the vanguard cam ps to ­day,

The rear shall rest tomorrow. Through all the long, d a rk n ig h t of

years,The people’s cry ascendeth;

The earth is wet with blood and tears , But our meek sufferance ende th :

The few shall not forever sway,The many moil in sorrow;

The powers of heir are s t ro n g today, But Christ shall reign tomorrow.

Though h e a r t s brood o’er th e pas t, our eyes

W ith smiling fu tu re s g lis ten;For, lo! our day bursts up th e skies:

Lean ou t your souls and listen.The world rolls f reedom ’s ra d ia n t way,

And r ipens with her sorrow;And'tis th e m a rty rdom today,

Brings v ic to ry tomorrow.

Then youth f lam e-earnest, still asp ire W ith energ ies im m orta l;

To m any a haven of desire,Your y e a rn in g opes a por ta l ;

And though a g e wearies by th e way, And h e a r t s b re a k in the furrow,

We 11 sow th e golden grain to d a y ,— The h a rv e s t comes tomorrow.

General S herm an tells us in his au tob iography tha t he always th o u g h t the battle was lost when

he was in the rear, but gained confi­dence as he went to the f ron t . He said that old soldiers always p re fe r red to be at the front. There is a g r e a t deal of truth in th a t theologically as

well as .army-wise. Happy a re they who a re in th e vanguard.

A friend of mine has been in one of th e New York hospitals , and as a l ­ways I have been s tru ck by the b r igh t and forward look of eve ry th ing th e re .

Did you ever d ream a b o u t a c h u rc h t h a t would be g r e a t enough no t to p ro tec t i tse lf and its r e p u ta t io n

and its social standing against so- called “ unbelievers’’? achurchgreat enough in sp ir i t to recognize all faith, to f»e perturbed by no -heresy, and to modulate all the discordant sounds in to harmony ?—a church great enough to disregard its own life in its reg a rd for th e higher life of the world ?

Did you ever dream about a church whose only life and work would be the m aking of music that should be the gladness of the world? The world needs to be made glad. That’s the way to m ake i t good. It needs joj and sunshine and cheer and life. It needs th e g re a te s t possible amount of th e t ru e s t possible happiness. It needs to laugh. I t needs hope, love and en thusiasm . Your children and mine do not need damnation. They do not need to be terrorized into piety. Nor do they need to think less of

themselves. Self-depreciation is a worn-out grace. If they over-es t im ­ate their smartness, the over-es t im a­tion will be taken out of them by natural and sure process. But, on the other hand, if they under-est im ­ate themselves, they are ju s t so f a r destroyed or dead. We must not go on matting good-for-nothings by our religious philosophy. ‘‘.Fust as I a m ”

* is laziness; and “ Oh .' to be n o th in g ” is anti-Christian; and “ Such a worm as i” is a bad habit. People of t ru e culture should know Fietter and do better than to promote such a f ram e of mind. The depravity doctr ine dis­heartens high aspiration, se p a ra te s us from the heavens, and denies all the pleasures of God’s home-life to the people who ought to know th e m ­selves as children of God.

The heart’s desire is no t a wicked, but a holy thing. The flesh is not foul, but pure. The world is no t a devil’s, but God's. Wisdom is not evil, but good. The heart 's desire has made the world's progress, The heart's desire is not mere selfishness. It is a going of self out in to th e world. It is a giving of self. To be without desires is to give no th ing and to do nothing, and to be—very little at most. Desire u n d e r contro l is most indispensable to life T h a t it be under control, is quite as necessary as that steam or electricity be under control, but th a t It is unholy is a theological falsehood. Human n a tu re is the holiest and noblest p ro d u c t of creative genius and power. It needs not to he maligned, but glorified: not

denied, b u t fulfilled; not replaced by an o th e r n a tu re , bu t developed along the lines of i ts h ighest promise in to th e unbounded glory of in c a rn a te deity. H um an n a tu re is in tended for this. I t isn’t a mistake. I t is the finest W ork of evolution, and th e t ru e s t W ord of God. This is w h a t you are , po ten tia l ly . Your n a tu r e is divinely* noble. God has no t “ r e ­pen ted” hav in g you on e a r th . T h e re is more good in you th a n you hav'e ever d ream ed of.

Really th is is th e religion of today and of tomorrow. I ts fa i th a r ises in the co n tem p la t io n of universa l good. I ts hope is founded on th a t in tegrity ' and fu n d am e n ta l r igh tness which a re in th e n a tu re of things, and reaches forward to th e ideal in human life. Its love is th e n a t iv e a i r of hum an n a tu re , and i t encompasses all men.

How incom parab ly happy people would be if they' could bu t know w hat infinitely glorious beings they a r e —if they could b u t see the progress m ade and m aking , th e c e r ta in t r iu m p h of th e r ig h t and t rue , and th e good in ev e ry th in g —if th e y could b u t h e a r th e harm ony and see th e beau ty and believe in th e '.n tegrity of God’s world.

The ch u rc h of th e fu tu re will m ake all men see th is vision. Such a church is a l re a d y here. W e have no ab i l i ty to build a fence around it, nor even to give it a name. The p u r­pose of T h e V a n g u a r d i s to dis­cover and rev e a l th is ch u rch to th e eyes of th e unbelieving as well as to th e vision of those who have fa i th .

L e w is t o n , M e .

There is religion in everything around us; a calm and holy religion in the unbreathing things of nature which man would do well to imitate. It is a meek and blessed influence, stealing in, as it were, unawares upon the heart. I t conies quietly and without excitement; it has no terror, no gloom in its approaches.

the next approaching division. Oth< inspiring, strident flutes! How tit cornets and trombones join in, and th e snare drums, ami the deep bis drums Imoming all along! Oh, hoi can wc resist keeping step with -the procession I If some one at the fa r th e r end of the sidewalk line would only s ta r t , cvcryliody would march. Hut, we stand and gaze while the blood leaps from heart to arteries and only our souls go marching on. The th ird, fourth, fifth, tenth, tw en tie th companies pass, and our eyes never t ire of the pageant. Only when th e last marcher—the old man in th rea d b a re coat, with abitofa limp, but carry ing a banner proudly, surrounded by the motley rearguard of gamins and a scurrying dog here and t h e r e — only when the last m archer passes and the last big drum becomes a fa in t ing “pom—pom-pom. pom, pom,” do we draw a long sigh and lind ourselves mingling homeward with the dissolving,chaotic crowd. The procession is past. We have seen i t—one of the g rea t sights ofalife- t im e—and we a re glad wehaveseen it, glad we waited all the lor.ghour in our place and bore the hustle and crush, because if i t were not for us to be am ong those in the procession, we could he onlookers and cheerers and sh a re rs in th e inspiration of it all.

Hut, were we not in the procession? Are we no t always in the glorious Procession of L ife—in the mighty Procession of Humanity? It seems t o m e t h a t th i s - i s the grander pag­ean t, th is th e most splendid sight. All n a tu re composes the scene: all h istory th e vas t background, all art and religion and education and play and business and war are varied ac­com panim ents and decorations, and

each day of sunlight and shadow, filled with the sounds of its doings, divides the shifting on-com ing and off-vanish­ing sections of our race procession as reviewed by Time. Out of th e d is ta n t past comes the procession of Man. The creatures from the jung le and along the traversed route looked on the marvellous sight: the lions roared, the elephants trumpeted, th e heavens Sashed and thunder tolled, and Man marched on from his origin a long th e unending line of ascent. W hen the wild creatures were mostly le f t be­hind. the piping of birds and th e mothers’ lullabies made th e music of his march, music always f a in t in g and reviving with the mingling b a t t le songs now overpowering th e pas to ra l hymn and now lost in th e d istance, giving way to the loudening hum and reverberation of traffic and m a n u fa c ­ture as the grea t human procession enters the modern cities fo r i ts Tw en­tieth Century review. Procession of processions! O mighty onward move­ment of man! Waved over by heaven’s gala banner whereon a re rainbow stripes by day and sp a n g ­ling stars by n ig h t ! O m a rchers made dazzling by the luminous orbs of the universe ! O mankind m u l t i tu d ­inous thy steps made rhy thm ic by th e moments, and the shouts and glee, th e sighs and cries, the commands and prayers of the moments ! O P ro c es ­sion of the Human Race, viewed by The Ancient of Days and all his celes­tial hosts with joy!—gladly s a lu t in g !

You and I are in this procession. We are marching along, m arc h in g outbeyoud the sunshine, th ro u g h th e valley of shadows with mu filed drums, on toward the fu ture , we a re jo u rn ey ­

W h a t position in th e wouderful line is ours, O co m ra d e ? Many a re infinitely beyond; many a re back in obscurity; some a re nex t to th e g r e a t leaders and h e a r th e fife of hope and and th e t r i l l c la r ion tr iu m p h ; and some hea r no n o te —th e reveille of life has not y e t sounded for them.

T allv when he chances to be a small cap i ta l is t , th e t e r m “ class-conscious­ness” spells the passion of sullen toil aga inst all t h a t world which lies above the grime and w re tched ­ness of field and fac to ry , and throbs with th e blind fury of the worker who

knows no hope save in th e r u i n -of things. He looks upon Socialism, therefore, as a dangerous force whose chief function is to stir up envy and hate in the brains of workingmen against the rich in high places. The truth is that he measures al l th ings with the rule of se lf-interest and holds the larger concept of b ro th e r , hood harmless enough in theo ry but most baneful when its p rac tise would touch the hoards of commerce.

Class-consciousness, in rea l i ty , s im­ply means the recognition of the basic equality of all labor as the source of wealth and the fundamental r ig h t of every man to the full p roduct of bis toil, as against

“the sordid lu$t of self,The grovelling hope of in te re s t and

gold.Unqualified, unmingled, unredeemed Even by hypocrisy.”

The need for th is class-conscious­ness grows out of the fac t t h a t th e machine is rapidly breaking up th e aristocracies of trade and absorbing the skill of the most exclusive c ra f ts . Labor, or human effort in te l l igen tly directed in the production of w ealth , is becoming a common fac to r irre* spective of the mode and c leverness of its application. Class-conscious­ness seeks to bring this t a c t home to the highly-skilled mechanic as well as to

‘•The slaves by force or famine driven B enea th a v u lga r m aster, to p e r fo rm A task of cold and b ru ta l d ru d g ery ;— H ardened to hope, insensible to fea r , S carce living pulleys of a dead m a ­

th e i r abso lu te in te rdependence and th e i r common r ig h ts as wealth-pro­ducers, th e y become conscious o f th e i r so lidar i ty as a class. This con­sciousness, however, is not final in i ts effect: for it is only an unify ing gu id ­ance to t h a t v ic to ry in th e class- s truggle between labor and ca p i ta l , between p roducers and non-producers which must even tua l ly wipe ou t all class d is t inct ions.

The t r iu m p h of th e wage-workers over the hosts of in te res t , r e n t and profit will leave only one class in to which all men m ust be enrolled—th e th e class of workers. P rovinc ia l and national d ifferences will no longer dom inate th e affairs of th e world. P a t r io t i sm , as we now unders tand it, will vanish, ft is only an e x a g g e r a te d c lass-s truggle ; and i t has its orig in in th e b a t t le of one na t ion a g a in s t a n o th e r fo r in d u s t r ia l suprem acy .

able to make, and th e r e p o r t s 1 h a v e received, I find t h a t the M e n ta l S c i e n ­tists.

Many years ago, a f t e r I had d e m o n ­strated to my e n t i r e s a t i s f a c t io n th e value of suggestion as a t h e r a p e u t i c agent, I predicted t h a t un less our medical colleges in s t i tu te d a cou rse in Suggestive Therapeutics , and u n ­less graduated physicians took up th e study of Medical Psychology , th e time would come when laws r e s t r i c t - the practice of medicine to g r a d u a te s of regular medical co l leges , would become a thing of th e p a s t . T h a t this prediction was not c h im e r ic a l , is already manifest, for to d a y t h e r e a r e “healers” of every d e sc r ip t io n , in every town and c i ty , in every state in the Union, and th e m ed­ical laws are uniformly powerless to prevent them from p ra c t is in g . Occasionally we hear of one of these healers being conv ic ted fo r practising without a license from th e state board of health: but w here one of them has been convicted, a h u n ­dred have been perm itted to con t inue practising, and a dozen have com e to take the place of the convicted one.

At the present moment a move­ment is on foot among th e m e n ta l , magnetic, and other healers, to-form a national union for m u tua l p r o te c ­tion. When this union is fo rm ed (as doubtless it will be) it will r e p re se n t greater numerical s trength t h a n th e physicians of the United S t a t e s do; and when the t-cores of followers of each healer are added to th e num ber, it is very evident our conserva t ive physicians will have a tough proposi­tion to face.

E D ITO R IA L N O T E SWhose likeness could be more a p ­

propriate on the cover of the first is­sue of T h e V a n g u a r d th a n t h a t of Edward Everett Hale? Him self a noble embodiment of the t r u th he states so finely, he continues to- “ serve the world” generously with brain and pen and heart and voice. In the eighty-first year of his life he is still in the vanguard, “looking forward, not backward and lending a hand ,” a true prophet of the new century .

Some one has suggested for P resi­dent of the United S ta te s in 1904, George F. Hoar of Massachusetts. Senator Hoar is a grand, good man, well deserving such an honor, but we cannot second the proposal for the reason that President Roosevelt is doing too well to be allowed to retire . His “round” with the coal barons proved him every inch a man and we wish we might keep him in office at least until the Co-operative Com­monwealth is ushered in. By t h a t time he bids fair to be u full fledged Socialist and we may want to re-elect him on that ticket. He now declares that “the government m ight with safety own the railroads.” Surely! but why not also the coal mines, and the oil wells, and the steel works, and sugar refineries and so on? W hy not the whole plant? And why not also have the people own the governm ent? Watch Socialism grow. And watch the President grow.

If the old heathen d ram a tis t could declare, “I am a man; naught t h a t is human deem I foreign to me,” how much warmer and stronger m igh t we expect the interest of every C hris t ian tobein every movement t h a t seeks the welfare of humanity! Y et un ti l recent years the churches have been strangely dumb in the presence of gi­gantic social wrongs; and th e condi­

tions which produce poverty and crim e h a v e m e t with l i t t le a t te n t io n or rebuke from the pulpit.

But th e day of b e t te r th ings is a t hand. P r e a c h in g a heaven to come tor men and women in th e pangs of a present social hell is becoming a th ing of th e pas t . Ministers a r e be­ginning to see t h a t “ Thy Kingdom Come” m e a n t , when it was u t te re d , a b e t te r and happ ier world on th is side of th e g rave : and t h a t following in the foo ts teps of th e M aster , who smote in jus tice with a mailed hand, means th e redressing of social wrongs and the p rocla im ing of l ibe r ty to th e cap tives of industria l oppression. Realization of th e t r u th t h a t C h r is ­tian ity m eans B rotherhood is u rg ing Chris t ian men in increasing num bers to iden tify them selves with th e So­cialist m ovem ent as t h a t which o f ­fers the only definite and p r a c t ic a l program of po li t ica l ac tion for the solution of th e social problem.

Jus t as we go to press th e r e p o r t of l)r. L ym an A b b o tt’s le c tu re a t Yale College comes to band. W e have only room for a p a ra g ra p h now. Speaking on “ Socialism as a f a c t of the f u tu r e ” he said: “ I believe themovement tow ard Socialism in th is coun try to be irresistible , and 1 be­lieve, too, i t o u g h t not to be re s is ted .”

HE author of th is book is I clerk e f th e United S ta te s

Jl, | Courtof Claims, W ash ing ­ton, D. C., and a son of the great educato r and theologian, th e la te Rev. Dr. Mark Hopkins, presi-

M M i l l ^ent Williams College. \ U f l / J While the book contains m m little that is new to schol- • l U U i l ars, it is the valuable ex­

pression of an earnest layman who does his own thinking and who wishes to incite others to th ink sincerely in religious matters. Mr. Hopkins is not an iconoclast nor does he question yie essentials of pure and reasonable religion, but his work is in r a th e r startling contrast to th e orthodox views held by his father. Analyzing the clauses of the famous old creed, he finds scarcely a single proposition in it which could be supported in a court of law, and he believes t h a t this ancient symbol, formulated by an ig­norant partisan council, under the moral and military domination of a pagan emperor, should be abandoned as a test ot present day C hris t ian i ty .

“Suppose,” he argues, ‘th a t a med­ical council, having met 300 y ea rs a f ­ter the death of ^-Esculapius, had gathered up as much as possible of the traditions of his life and methods, and by a majority vote, coerced by an imperious ruler, adopted a creed which every aspirant for the degree of M. D. must ttiroughout all t im e solemnly assert he believes and will always continue to believe or be de­prived of his r ight to p ractice and his means of livelihood. Who would ever employ such a doctor? T h a t is just what the church requires of th e c le r ­gy, and we believe tha t it narrows them and cripples their h ighest use­fulness as much as a similar course in medicine would injure the doctors .”

Mr. Hopkins holds th a t anyone who

pledges h im self always to believe a creed is co m m itt in g m ental suicide. Such a m an can never go th rough any com plete in te l lec tua l process on any subject alTecting th a t creed with th o r ­ough honesty and without rega rd to results. Creeds have the ir p lace as th e expression and concensus of opinion from tim e to tim e, but th e re is no more reason for adhering inflexibly to a series of propositions in religion, which a re s ta te d as m a t te r s of f a c t without s a t i s fa c to ry evidence, th a n the re is for doing the same th in g in political economy, medicine, a r t , or geology. He continues:

‘‘The genuine, thoroughgoing, fe a r ­less seeker a f t e r t r u th does no t stop along th e road and tie himself for­ever to some form ulistic h itch ingpost . The progress of those who do consists in m ark ing t im e on the dusty h ighway; g re a te r m u lt i tudes than ever before a re t r am p in g pas t them toward th e growing ligh t , and some of those .who are le ft behind fancy th a t as they a re going th ro u g h th e motions they, too, must be ad v a n c in g .”

Then Mr. Hopkins goes on to give several solid pages of names of g r e a t and good men and women who have been ‘‘h e re t ic s and “ infidels” from the ecc les ias t ica l view-point. The ex­hib it is undeniably s tr ik ing and will g ra t i fy m any who read the book and seek to serve God without the aid and “ com fo rt” of mediaeval theology. The a u th o r scarcely' o vers ta te s th e case when he says t h a t these nam es rep resen t “ substan t ia l ly all t h a t is g rea te s t and bes t .” Y e t all those g r e a t ones, including Lincoln and G ran t, Em erson and Lowell, m ust “ without doubt perish ev e r las t ing ly .” Not hav ing “ believed” they m ust be consigned to some place outside th e orthodox heaven . “ W h a t happiness to go th e re !” excla im s th e au tho r.

In no work dea l in g with th e social conditions of our t im e is th e “ t r u s t ” discussed in so c le a r and ab le a m a n ­ner.

Pointing out the likeness betictc the g if ts of feudal barons to the church anti those of our millionaires to libraries and colleges, he deplores th e social deterioration which sock “ c h a r i ty 1* inevitably produces,

Mr Kidd believes that the force which will overthrow’economic tyr­anny is the growing idea of human equality . And he sees the solution a lready looming Into wight in the So­cialistic movement of our time-tie s t a t e ownership of public utilities.This he believes is the force that fill c le a r th e way for the future progress ot the Anglo-Saxon race. Such i conclusion, coming from such a source, will carry great weight. Itis surely t im e for men of thought t« give Socialism serious and unbiassed study. __ ____The P sychology of Sugges­

Brotherhood.By Edw in M ark h am .

The crest and crowning of all good, Life’s final star, is BROTHERHOOD;For it will bring again to Earth Her long-lost Poesy and Mirth;Will send new light on every face,A kingly power upon the race,And till it comes, we men are slaves. And travel downward to the uust of

giaves.Come, clear the way, then, c lea r th e

way;Blind creeds and kings have had the ir

day,Our hope is in the a f te rm ath - Our hope is in heroic men,Star-led to build the world again.To this Event the ages ran;Make way for Brotherhood—make

way for Man .

A Man Must Live.By C h arlo tte P erk in s G ilm a n .

A man must live. We jus t ify Low shift and trick to treason high,

A little vote for a lit tle gold For a whole senate bought and sold,

By this self-evident reply.But is it so? Prav tell me why Life at such a cost you have to buy?

In what religion were you told A man must live?

There are times When a man must die, Imagine, fo ra bat tle cry,

From soldiers, with a sword to hold— From soldiers with the flag unrolled;

This coward’s whine, this l i a r ’s lie—A man must live!

By Right Divine.By J. A. K d g c rto n .

When rogues would till the human mind

With some transparent lie.They always claim it countersigned

And sanctioned from on high.A case will make this s ta tem en t plain: The right divine of kings to reign.This lie was shot to death, in par t ,

A hundred years ago,But now the tr icksters seek to s t a r t

An equal falsehood, so You hear proclaimed by every fool The right divine of gold to rule.Ere long, when they grow bold enough

To m ake th e i r purpose clear,And throw th e mask of pretense olT,

We may ex p e c t to hear The pious knaves make this appeal:The r ig h t divine of thieves to steal.I seem to h e a r a n o th e r cry

T h a t comes from all around. Beginning low, i t rises high,

A deep and growing sound,T h a t claims, in no uncerta in tone, The hum an r ig h t to have our own.T h a t cry is lilled with dire dis tress

And ang ry d iscontent;W ith tones of w ant and wretchedness

While into these a re bent S tern under voices, t h a t demand The hum an r ig h t to life and land.From torrid zone to frigid snows,

'Tis heard in every place.I t ever louder, deeper grows,

Until it th r i l ls th e race;And thunders fo r th from sea to sea The human r ig h t to liberty.No longer le t us h ea r th a t fraud

Is sanctioned from on high;No longer tell mankind th a t God

Will consecra te a lie:But let th is t r u th forever shine:The human r ig h t is the divine.

Thanksgiving Song.B y H e rb e r t N. C nsson.

I’m th a n k fu l t h a t the sun and moon Are both hung up so high

T h a t no rich robber's hand can s t r e tc h And pull them from the sky.

If they hung low, I have no doubt,The “ e n te rp r i s in g ” class

Would legis la te to take them down And l igh t th e world with gas.

I ’m th a n k fu l t h a t th e shining s ta rs Are fa r beyond our reach,

And th a t th e rolling planets, too,Are dea f from human speech.

If they were near. I ’m very sure Some men would own the skies,

And m a n ag e the whole universe By p r iv a te “ en te rp r ise .”

I ’m th a n k fu l t h a t th e God of all,* Whose laws we m ust obey,

Has changed his plans for m ak ing man

By m ak ing him from clay.If He had not,, i t ' s very clear,

'Twould be a doleful case,Some man would form a big clay t ru s t

And stop th e human race.

WHY SHE WAS A SOCIALIST.From an add ress by F ra n c e s K. W illa rd , a t

tlie N ationa l \V G .'T . U. co n v en tio n in Buffalo, X. V . in l«»7.

Look about you; the products of labor are on every hand: you could not maintain for a m om enta well-ordered life without them; every object in your room has in it, for discerning eyes, the mark of ingenious tools and the pressure of labor’s hands. But is it not the c ru d e s t injustice for the wealthy, whose lives are surrounded and embellished by labor’s work, to have a superabundance of the money which represents the agg re g a te of

labor in any coun try , while the labor­er himself is k e p t so steady a t work th a t he has no time to acquire the education and refinements of life t h a t would m ake him and his family agreeable companions to the rich and cu ltured? The reason why I am a Socialist comes in just here.

I would take, not by force, bu t by the slow process of lawful acquisi­tion th rough b e t te r legislation as the outcome of a wiser ballot in the hands of men and women, th e en t i re plant t h a t we call civilization, all th a t has been achieved on th is con­t inen t in the four hundred years since Columbus wended his way h ithe r , and make it the common property of all the people, requir ing all to work enough with th e i r hands to give them the finest physical development, but not to become burdensome in any case, and perm itt ing all to share alike the advan tages of education mud refine­ment. I believe th is to be perfectly prac ticable , indeed, th a t any other method is simply a relic of barbarism.

I believe t h a t competition isdoomed. The t rus ts , whose single object is to abolish com peti tion, have proved th a t we are b e t te r w ithout than with it, and the moment corporations control the supply of any product they com­bine. W h a t the Socialist desires is t h a t the corporation of hum anity should control all production. Be­loved comrades, th is is the fr ic t ion ­less way; i t is the h igher way; i t eli­m inates th e motives for a selfish life; i t enac ts .into our every-day living the e th ics of Christ 's gospel. Noth­ing else will do it; nothing else can bring the glad day of universal b ro th ­erhood.

Oh, t h a t I were young again, and it would have my life! I t is God’s way out of th e wildernees and in to the promised land. I t is the very m ar­row of Christ 's gospel- I t is Chris t i­an i ty Applied.
